Had a feeling this game would sell bad.

I should be some kinda video game analysts. It's odd, I knew this would happen and it pisses me off but I find it hilarious at the same time.

Has anyone noticed that the sales of the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 are fucking horrible? 140K in two weeks.

well seeing that the game was brought a year later. all i can say is...

WELL DUH!

I think this was more about bringing it to the ps3 then the units it would sell.

I guess bringing it out alongside about fifty million other games on PS3 coming out in the first quarter was a bad idea.

I was going to get both but LBP2 got my choice because i played it on the pc. Your dead on with that one.

Another factor is price, lets face it the game is a year old but since its just out on PS3 its at full price. Same thing happened with Bio Shock.

But wasn't all the PS3 people going on about how good value it was?

Thats mainly Bioware fault and the Retailers.

You can get ME2 for Xbox for like 15 quid but the PS3 Version is like 50 quid

Why the fuck would i even pay that much for a old game

every ps3 owner has a high end PC we already played it geeeeze

LMAO. ''I should be an industry analyst.''

Anyone who thought this would sell was a moron.

Bioware's fault? Bioware didn't want to bring it to the PS3, when their fanbase is already on PC and 360. It's EA's fault.

Any by your logic, games from like 2006 should be pretty much free then, right?

So half the people here?

So....MLD was right?

Mass Effect 1 didn't sell that well on xbox did it?
A game that's new to a system doesn't always sell amazingly.
Ah well.. EA fucked up and now they're paying for it.

Mass Effect 1 did sell pretty good.

for the ps3 price u can buy all the mass effect 2 dlc, mass effect 2, and mass effect. 1 year later release may make some money but most people already bought it on said other system.

In Australia the game is like $100 AUD on PS3 LOL. I bought the game since I have discount cards / gift cards sitting around. Only paid like $33 AUD for Mass Effect 2.

How much do games typically cost there?

And didn't you say you had an Xbox in your intro thread? Pff fanboy.

Huh? I use both forums.

I'm assuming Mass Effect 3 is going to sell much better on the PS3 compared to Mass Effect 2.

I think this goes to show that if you want a game to sell well on boh consoles then maybe you should oh i dont know....release them at the same time?

Strike while the iron is hot so to speak.

And release the whole series...

Wow, and people were saying single player games sell better on PS3.

ME2 is fucking awesome. It's one of the best if not the best game on the PS3. Shame to those that didn't buy it.

Maybe it should have stayed 360/PC exclusive after all.

It's funny how there was SO MUCH demand for this game to come on the PS3 and yet have such low sales.

I'm still going to get the game on PS3, because I actually prefer playing third person shooters on a dualshock 3 controller. Plus having the game all on one disc is pretty sweet. I imagine ME3 will be on 3 discs for 360/PC and 1 disc for PS3 :).
